Even though Cambrie's friend birthday party was a couple weeks after her true birthday, I think the wait was worth it. We purposely didn't tell her friends what we were doing until it was too late for them to run away. We loaded up all of the girls into the car then drove to ARC. At ARC they were each given the name of another girl at the party, and $10 to dress them in the wackiest outfit they could find. It took the girls a couple minutes to warm up and to get their imagination juices flowing, but once they did we couldn't get them to stop! Girls were walking through all of the aisles laughing and showing their finds to the other girls.
I had no idea what to expect when the girls finished making their purchases. We utilized the dressing rooms there at the store and when the girls came out I was beyond impressed! Those girls did a fabulous job.
After they were all dressed we took them to the Orchard where they had to do a photo scavenger hunt. Some of the things included finding a jewelry store and proposing to a team member, reading a board book to a team member, and asking someone to sing Happy Birthday to the group. Jeremy and I chaperoned and shadowed them around the mall. We never went too close to interfere, but stayed close enough that we could see them blush, laugh, get excited, and ask strangers to do strange things. It turned into a fabulous date night for the two of us actually.
Once the girls were done with their scavenger hunt, we met up at Menchies for some frozen yogurt. Cambrie was mortified when I pulled out the candles and sang Happy Birthday to her, but that's my job!
Most of the girls were relieved when they could come back home and change into their normal clothes again. Some, however, were really excited about their outfits and couldn't wait to wear them again later. We hung out at home playing crazy game until the parents came to pick up the girls. It was wild, crazy, and the perfect way to spend her last birthday before becoming a teenager!
